About

I’m Vincent Tan, a self-employed web publisher. That’s the simplest summary I can give you. I write about diverse topics involving, surrounding, and sometimes diverging, from the topics of mathematics (it’s ok, you’re tough) and programming (it’s still ok, because you’re really tough). And I also write about writing, publishing, design, entrepreneurship, online business and other esoteric topics.

I’m also the editor of an online magazine Singularity which covers diverse topics for curious artists and scientists. Sign up to get exclusive updates and a free ebook on how to publish your own online magazine (see sidebar on the right). It’s awesome if I do say so myself.

In a past life, I was a software developer in Singapore, working mainly with C#, VB.NET and ASP.NET. I also worked with SQL Server, Oracle and Sybase databases, Windows and Unix/Linux servers, and C and shell scripts amongst other things. I’ve worked in a major telecommunications company, a software house, and a startup company. And before that, somehow, I managed to graduate from National University of Singapore, majoring in Applied Mathematics and Computational Science.
